Fractional Sales Manager
Senior sales leadership on a retainer — playbook, coaching, and pipeline ownership without a $180K hire.

Who this is for
- Founders selling B2B with 1–3 SDRs and no head of sales
- Agencies where the owner still does every discovery call
- Series-A teams that outgrew a player-coach setup
Problems solved
- - Pipeline visibility is a spreadsheet and vibes
- - Reps look busy but forecasts miss every month
- - Discovery calls are inconsistent, so conversion is a lottery
- - CRM is a graveyard, deals sit for weeks with no next step

KPIs I track
Frequently asked
What is a fractional sales manager?
A part-time senior sales operator who builds your playbook, coaches your reps, and owns pipeline hygiene without being a full salaried hire. Ideal from 1–8 reps.
How is this different from a sales coach?
A coach improves individual reps. A fractional sales manager owns the system: playbook, CRM discipline, forecasting, and hiring shape.
What if I only have one salesperson?
That is exactly when this works best. One rep with a playbook, weekly reviews, and clean CRM will outperform three reps operating on vibes.
Do you take a commission?
No. Retainer only. Commission structures blur incentives when I am also grading the pipeline I report on.
How fast can we start?
Diagnostic starts within 5 business days of the signed brief.
